Well, i've turned Sticky Keys off and even removed it by Add / Remove Programs, Windows Components. Its now stopped working in Windows itself, but when i play a game like Counter-Strike or Hitman, i have Shift assigned as duck and the bloody pc still beeps at me as i hold the shift key down!!!
How the hell do you get rid of Stick Keys for good, its a real pain in the ass!
Posted by: Matd at July 31, 2004 2:18 AMTo get rid of StickyKeys for good go to Control Panel - Accessibility Options - Keyboard - StickyKeys - Settings and uncheck the box called "Keyboard shortcut" which if checked monitors for shift pressed five times.
There is a similar box to be unchecked in FilterKeys section which monitors pressing shift for 8 seconds.
I have windows XP on my laptop and the filter keys immediately pops up. I also notice that the Numlock key stays ON and I cannot disable it. Do you think this is still related to the sticky keys or probably a bad keyboard?
Posted by: Mr C at September 15, 2004 10:49 PMI'm thinking bad keyboard. Sounds like the numlock key is literally stuck.
Posted by: Leo at September 16, 2004 8:25 AMI just got the solution...it took me about 5 minutes. Go into the StickyKeys settings and check the "Turn off StickyKeys if 2 keys are pressed at once" Apply the changes then hit 2 keys of your choice. Now disable the damn thing altogether. Enjoy.

Hit Fn+Num Lock. That's what worked on my Dell Inspiron 2600 with XP.
